Have female gymnasts been the youngest gold medallists?

Answer 1

Gymnasts are typically very young, and yes, they are some of the youngest medalists at the Olympics (I assume that is what you are referring to), but the youngest Olympic gold medalist is actually Tara Lipinski. She is a figure skater that won gold in Nagano, Japan in 1998 when she was 15 years old. A gymnast could never beat this age because in order to go to the Olympics in gymnastics, the athlete must be 16 years old.
